Chapter 175: Nobody Wants It
The demon hunter walked through the camp and walked to the militia under the hostile gaze of the nuns, where he found that the militia had gathered quite a few people. In addition to Marx's safe return, the young Karl was accompanying his father to receive treatment from the priest, and when he saw the demon hunter return, Rick waved at him with his uninjured hand.
The demon hunter gave him a thumbs up, and the father and son were calm and unspeakable when facing the crisis. Although I don't know Rick's origin, he shows a strong military atmosphere in every move, and his son Carl, at a young age, I am afraid that he is already stronger than many adults in terms of attributes, but he lacks a chance to become a professional.
Marx was lying in the open space in front of him, a priest was carefully cleaning his wounds, and the militia with him as the center were scattered around, vaguely forming a defensive circle with no dead ends, and even the knight Bart stood vigilantly with a shield in a place where he could support at any time. The demon hunter had to admire Marx's personality charm, and there was almost no sign of his down-and-out appearance when he was a gangster.
But this formation may not be from the hands of knights, Xu Yichen knows that Bart is from a regular knight order, and he has always been used as an auxiliary soldier for these militiamen. In his eyes, filling the battlefield is probably the only use of these people, and more often, bringing his hairy son-in-law Li Yanlong, aaaagh's reckless past, becoming a support point is his tactic.
A five-man squad beside Marx attracted the attention of the demon hunters, both in terms of momentum and equipment, they far surpassed the militia more than one line. Especially the one who leads, with a delicate chain mail, a sharp one-handed sword, a small round shield with a strange shape, and a military crossbow on his back, all indicate his status as a leader.
On top of that, it's a player, with sporadic red markings standing out in the brown shredded hair.
Although I heard that there is another player around Marx who plays for it, this player still surprised Xu Yichen a little, and this is the first time I have seen it with his own aboriginal forces. The four warriors, who looked very strong, obviously had him at their core, and when the Demon Hunter approached Marx, they all looked at the player with their eyes, and found that he had no reaction before continuing to be vigilant as if nothing had happened.
"Are you alright? My friend? When the demon hunter came to Marx, the young priest, who had already taken care of his wounds, saluted himself in awe and turned away.
"Depending on the situation, I can't die, your prestige in the church is not small." Marx looked at the departing pastor and laughed, patting the ground: "I heard those church people talking about the problem of groundwater, I'm afraid it won't be long before this place will be flooded, right?" I don't have any ill feelings towards the people in the church, I just feel that their minds have been imprisoned by the gods and have become a little stubborn. ”
"They still don't allow people from the lower city to take refuge in the city?" The Demon Hunter was a little surprised, and although he was planning to move these people to his own territory, Marx's words still surprised him a little.
Now that the Chaos Plague has basically been solved, others don't know, but Richard Priest will definitely know it! Xu Yichen was still thinking about how to persuade these people to leave Anthony Harbour and follow him to the territory far away on the border of the dangerous Black Forest, but now the church actually has a god to help? At a time when Antoine had almost relinquished his wartime leadership, the decision of the Church was the decision of the local lords, and if they did not allow the refugees to enter the city, these people would have almost no way out.
Marx's face was pale, with a lot of blood loss: "Because they have faced chaos head-on, the Church considers these people to be potential dangers. After all, they still had some scruples, and Lord Richard, who was headed by him, was an enlightened leader, and the original plan of the upper echelons of the church was to dispose of everyone and then push the whole thing onto the nuns. ”
The nuns, who are usually ghosts and sorrows everywhere, suffered this time, as if everyone wanted to come and step on them and throw a few pots. Demon hunters can understand the church's approach, based on the past situation, people who have been exposed to chaos will be more or less mentally affected, but this time it is purely a matter of cost.
For example, during the first Chaos invasion in this city, in the conspiracy of those Nurgle believers, the mortals who had pre-made contact with them were basically killed and wounded, whether it was the Bloodroar Gang or the guards and servants in the Lord's Mansion at that time, they all died in the Chaos invasion, at least in the official record, they died at the hands of Chaos. Only Antoine himself and a few of his entourage, after the purification ritual of the Church, were still alive and kicking.
Mortals who have been exposed to chaos are also divided into several categories. Light contact, just like these refugees in the slums, most of them may have seen those chaos creatures with their own eyes, or heard the voices of those chaos creatures, these people are actually not very dangerous, and the probability that they may become chaos worshippers, cannot be said to be none, but the probability is very low.
Moderate contact, like the militias whose resources stand up to the danger, who have more or less direct contact with the creatures of Chaos; Heavy contact, like Antoine, or demon hunters, who have not only had direct contact with Chaos creatures, but have even communicated with them, dissected or been dissected.
As a professional, there is naturally no need to worry about this kind of contact, and as a nobleman, there are also special personnel to help them solve their troubles. So those militias are the people with a high incidence of chaos cult, and these people can lay down their arms and disappear into the refugees, where they are all their families, neighbors, and they can't tell the difference.
On top of that, the Church is powerless to purify so many Chaos Contacts, especially since most of them are unbelievers. This is a colony of the Far South, and most of the immigrants who came to reclaim it were people who sought freedom, and most of these people were untrustworthy; This is the Great Port of Antonio, one of the areas with the most control over the Church.
This is also the reason why his teacher, Sir Gangze, who was an ally of his companions when he came to the Far South Colonies, the Knights of Dawn, withdrew in anger after a month of suffering in the Black Forest. These untrustworthy, proletarians, non-tax-paying people, no one wants to spend time and money to protect them.
"Under the threat of Chaos, they are still following their old routines." Marx smiled wryly: "We must unite all those who can be united, but they are not even willing to give me time to reform these people." ”
